Annie: Week 5 weigh-in

But I know it's only temporary vindication... next week will be water-weight hell again.

There were a couple of differentiating factors this week vs. last, which I'll have to track longer-term to see if they really made a difference.

1) The Flex points.

This week, I ate 15 of my Flex points, whereas in previous weeks I hadn't really been eating them. I wasn't opposed to eating them - I just wasn't eating enough during the day to need them, so it was either not use them or use them for the sake of it to eat crap.

This week, I ate more during the day, so had to dip into Flex points to have enough at supper/evening snack to keep me satisfied till bedtime.

2) The bananas.

Bananas are binding, and last week I ate too many of them (between the daily banana in the afternoon and the Hungry Girl Top Banana Bread I was eating most days for breakfast). As a result, when I weighed in last week, I was feeling a little, well, bound. Haha! This week, not... 'nuff said.

Annie sez: Haha, no, no, of course I didn't mean to diss bananas! I love bananas (not quite as much as I loves me my Rafa, but that's off topic). And in fact, when I look back at the journal, there were actually numerous days in the previous week when I had the banana bread in the a.m., a banana in the afternoon to hold me till dinner, and then another one in the evening, eaten dipped in Jello fat-free chocolate pudding (chocolate fondue-ish, 3 points!!).
